Particle physicists aim to understand the building blocks of the Universe. On the experimental front, we have built machines to collide particles, recreating then the conditions of the early Universe. We have made a lot of measurements from the resultant collisions which, on the theoretical front, match extremely well with our predictions from a theory called the Standard Model. However, experiments have been observing deviations from it and in my thesis I aim to explain some of those deviations (also called anomalies) by extending the Standard Model with more particles, in a theory called the general two Higgs doublet model.
